I read the reviews on monarch airlines before I flew with them last month and thought oh my god no! the reviews were awful! anyway to cut a long story short I didn't have a problem with monarch the flight was on time the staff were friendly and helpful the meals were very nice the best I've had actually the leg room was fine I could stretch out my legs infront of me (i am 5ft 6in tall). it was a nice flight and a perfect landing. I would definatly fly with monarch airlines again! the only thing I found fault with was you have to hire the headphones for a pound so if you have your own take em with you!
